Bookbinding Basics: The Pamphlet Stitch

The focus of this workshop will be the building blocks of bookbinding. Students will learn basic book terminology, tearing sheets to size, folding & piercing folios, and the pamphlet stitch—a simple but elegant way to bind single-section books, with a lot of room for elaboration and variation. Students will take home a few blank books they’ve made, as well as the knowledge to make more on their own at home. Publishing your own comic books, poetry, manifestos, zines, or chapbooks is just around the corner! Hosted in the library’s community room. Recommended for ages 18 and up.
